This song originally came out with the premier of my new album "babel has fallen". But I hope you guys enjoy having this song as a single on RU-vid!
"This Tragedy of Mine" is a song about Technoblade's character on the Dream SMP in the wake of c!Ranboo's death after the prison escape in November 2021. The song was originally written in March 2022, but wasn't released until October with the release of the completed album.

Lyrics:
Hektor lost his family before his own demise
Within his own creation, Daedalus lived and died
Icarus with waxen wings somehow learned to glide
And Orpheus left Eurydice without a fond goodbye
The hero of this story was who you were meant to be
And I the wizened mentor, my death your tragedy
But these twisted myths cried warnings that this old fool failed to see
And now, too late, I see this fate bleeding before me
Is this my limbo?
To be torn apart?
Not by crows or eagles,
But still losing my heart?
The dealings of the mortals
Were not made for these eyes
But now you lay before me,
This tragedy of mine
Oh
Oh
Oh
Thanatos escaped his chains, refused the mortals’ call
And Theseus found forgiveness: in their eyes it’s not his fault
Tortured Agamemnon thus proclaimed himself a god
And Phrixus saw his savior seeking someone called a fraud
I’m still Prometheus, I thought I broke the chains
But I can’t ignore, not anymore, this all consuming pain
With a thousand-fold threat, I always follow through
I’ll bring fires of vengeance, long overdue
Is this my limbo?
To be torn apart?
Not by crows or eagles,
But still losing my heart?
The dealings of the mortals
Were not made for these eyes
But now you lay before me,
This tragedy of mine
Oh
Oh
Oh
Gods of death and bloodshed have always been my kind
So forgive if I forget how fragile mortals are sometimes
I forgot that if I cared too much, then I’d be rendered blind
Titans never die, that’s not the fate of mortal-kind
Goddess, did you welcome him with arms open wide?
Did you bring him needed rest or leave him haunted and deprived?
Oh Death, where is your sting? Isn’t the mentor supposed to die?
Now only the chorus sings this tragedy of mine
Is this my limbo?
To be torn apart?
Not by crows or eagles,
But still losing my heart.
The dealings of the mortals
Were not made for these eyes.
But now you lay before me,
This tragedy of mine
My hounds at the ready, they pulled at the leash
I tried to bring fire and do what I preach
Did I fall in love with shadow?
Did I lose the flame it's from?
Is all fair in love and war?
I gave you a home, but they took you away!
This tragedy of mine
Oh
Oh
Oh
Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your loving kindness, because of Your truth.
- Psalms 115:1

All the references I could find: Hektor - Tubbo (losing Ranboo because of his memory issues), reference from the Trojan War Daedalus - Sam (imprisoned by Revengers trio and killed by Dream in Pandora's Box), Pandora's Box=the Labyrinth Icarus - Quackity Orpheus - Wilbur (blowing up L'Manberg) Eurydice - L'Manberg "The Hero of this story..." - reference to the Techno and Ranboo's Great Adventure stream "But these twisted myths..." - reference to how myths are legends and could actually have happened very differently "And now too late..." - too late to do anything about it "Is this my Limbo?" - Limbo reference (DSMP/Christian) "To be torn apart?..." - reference to Prometheus' punishment "The dealings of the mortals..." - reference to how the Gods in mythology were not actually supposed to interfere in human affairs and were punished when they did (Prometheus, Apollo,...) Thanatos - Phil (escaping house arrest), Angel/God of Death Theseus - Tommy (reconciling with everyone) Agamemnon - Dream (having the Revive Book, thus "proclaimed himself a God"; tortured by Quackity and, to a lower extent, Sam), L'Manberg=Troy (especially factoring in Tubbo=Hektor) Phrixus - Connor (Techno searching for Ranboo in Pandora's Box and finding Connor) Prometheus - Techno, reference to the myth where Heracles freed Prometheus "With a thousand fold threat..." - referencing Techno's speech about kindness and injustice in the Failed Execution stream "I'll bring fires of vengeance long overdue" - Doomsday reference (DSMP/Christian), also a reference to Prometheus giving fire to the humans after Zeus explicitly forbid it "Gods of Death and Bloodshed..." - referencing Phil and his friendship with Techno, also the Blood God "I forgot that..." - referencing how caring too much has led him to this point (also I've heard a version where his punishment includes an eagle picking at his eyes, thus "rendered blind") Goddess - Kristin, the Lady Death "Did you give him needed rest..." - "Haunted" reference "Oh Death, where is your sting?..." - another reference to the Great Adventure stream, also a reference to how most of the mentors in fiction die before their apprentices (Star Wars alone has three different examples) "And now only the Chorus sings..." - the Chorus being Techno's Voices "My hounds at the ready..." - "Prometheus" reference, that entire part is in past tense while in "Prometheus" it was present tense, referencing how much time has passed "I gave you a home but they took you away" - "Beloved" reference

I heard a legend from a distant land A legend about the one who knocks This legend is about a powerful warrior One who has never died The God of blood The potato king His robes bloodstained from his battles His blade weary from their many battles Sadly he fell from his high status But I know that he will never be forgotten This legendary man shall be honoured and remembered for the rest of time He is known as The Blade

@justa.whisper442 Год назад

My best guesses are as follows for the references Hektor-Ranboo (losing family, Michael, before dying) Daedalus- Sam inventor/builder Icarus- quackity (clues in other songs) Orpheus - wilbur (musician) Eurydice- lmanberg Next bit addressing Ranboo calling back to the bit where techno exploited his silk touch hands (does that mean Hektor wasn’t Ranboo?) Talking about being torn apart by birds reference to Prometheus‘ original punishment in myth? Thanatos - Phil (angel of death) Theseus -Tommy duh Agamemnon- dream (tortured by Q in prison) Phrixus - ??? (Maybe slime if q is his saviour idk) Song about techno grieving Ranboo Goddess - Kristen (goddess of death) The chorus- techno‘s voices (referring Greek Chorus in plays)

@twilightcadmea Год назад

Tubbo maybe for hektor, haven’t heard of the character before so I can’t be sure

@justa.whisper442 Год назад

@@twilightcadmea reading the subtle hints (the fact that your reply got hearted) imma guess that you’re right. Tubbo makes much more sense too if we’re assuming that the song is set post ranboo’s death. I don’t really know who hektor was either I want to say he was the one who ran three times around the walls of Troy cos he was so scared of Achilles but I may be wrong. And can’t be bothered to google it.

Tubbo is Hektor (Hector of Troy). Hektor is an old spelling of Hector, like with Hekate=Hecate (Greek Goddess of Magic). Phrixus is Connor, referencing how he got locked in the Prison for stolen valor, his song ("Wrong Place, Wrong Time") is part of the "Babel Has Fallen" album.

@kotewest2627 Год назад

AH!! This is definitely one of my favorite songs!! It's just, I don't know if it's just me, but it has this slightly eerie vibe, it has all these mythological references (Hektor=Tubbo, Daedalus=Sam, etecera), the Prometheus and Beloved and Haunted callbacks, it's a C!Techno song dealing with C!Ranboo's death. Just. This is definitely up there with Prometheus, Beloved, You Dreamed a Dream and In the End. 💜🧡💜

@aliased_aryl Год назад

Something that’s been tickling my brain since the album release is the references to 1000 in techno’s songs. We got “a flood a thousandfold is coming down” in Prometheus, and now “a thousandfold threat” in this tragedy of mine I asked in the qna community post thread, but is a thousand more stories an extension of the “thousandfold” pattern? Bc if so, I love the thread that connects techno to all these narratives. I love how it harkens back to the “you need not fear the result of a hundred battles” and “if I had another hundred lives, I’d choose technoblade again every single time” quotes ;-; They pack so much emotion now, after everything. Plus the little hints of quotes from this song you’ve been dropping for _months_ in the community posts??? Splendid, wonderful, it’s all coming together 😌

@KnightofEndale Год назад

Ok, so the “thousandfold” pattern was absolutely intentional in “Prometheus” and “This Tragedy of Mine”, but I didn’t even notice the 1000 connection to “A Thousand More Stories” until you pointed it out just now!!! Oh my word, how did I not catch that?!?! All those songs have been done since July!! 😱😵

This is an amazingly beautiful and emotional song. In addition, it is a wonderful conclusion to the entire album - the interweaving of the stories of the heroes and their apogee, some sort of catharsis. Probably my favorite song on the album - I've listened to it over a hundred times already. Incredible work! This is a true masterpiece. 🖤

@tevildo7718 Год назад

I'm so happy to see this finally out as it's own song, it's easily one of my favourites you've made so far, the mixing of Greek myths is at it's peak here which is just perfect as a send off to the guy who started that trend of comparisons. One thing I don't quite get is who Hektor and Phrixus are meant to be, I'm guessing Hektor is Tubbo but I have no idea for Phrixus.

One thing I find interesting that is probably unintended: Philza is obviously the one referred to as Thanatos hence the chains and such, therefore logically his wife mumza would be Mikalkos(probably not spelling that right) goddess of blessed death

Correction it is Makaria, as expected I horribly butchered the name For those wondering the potential significance is that Mumza is most likely the goddess who was being asked if she welcomed him

You know something I just realized? In the first bit, when you're singing about Hektor, Daedalus, Icarus and Orpheus (aka Tubbo, Sam, Quackity and Wilbur) - everyone besides Tubbo is a villain. Maybe not Quackity as much as Sam and Wilbur, but still. And that's in contrast to when you sing about Thanatos, Theseus, Agamemnon, Phrixus and Prometheus (aka Phil, Tommy, Dream, Connor and Techno) when Tommy and Connor are the only ones not having a villainous role. And I don't know where I'm going with this, I just know it reminded me of the Vantage animation video by Halfy, where near the end it shows Quackity, Dream, Wilbur, Niki and, in the middle, Tubbo. As if replacing Schlatt.
